Looking for the Best Integrated High Current Amplifier 250-300 WPC

I am constantly trying different audio gear and love seeing what works best with my system of the day lol, and that system today includes Focal Sopra 2’s and maybe a Lumin X1 only if needed. I have had the Gryphon Diablo 300 in the past and loved it also not opposed to grabbing another one. I am open to others like the Hegel 590 that has a full blown streamer Dac which is a major plus as well any other that can rival those 2 at a 15K or less price point.

Thanks for your help

Your Focal's are likely the reason for your merry-go-round like set up. Great midrange, but lack in everything else. I know because I had them for a couple of months. Before the Sopra II, I had a pair of PSB Stratus Gold(and still do awaiting a second listening room) that far outperformed the Sopra's in the low end. The Tekton Double Impact SE stood pretty damn well in my system for a couple of years before recently investing in a pair of TAD CE1's with a pair of JL Audio F112v2 subs. Upstream is a Aric Audio Motherlode preamp and and a pair of Pass XA60.8. A fellow AG member turned me on to Found Music where I was able to have a bespoke pair of speaker cables crafted. I cannot imagine changing anything for some years(said everyone on this site)!

FYI, The Dynaudio Contour 60's are a dynamite pair of speakers, and do better the Sopra II's.
